Purse Album

Have you ever seen such a cute album? On the outside, it looks like a purse, on the inside it holds 8 4x6 photos. How cool is that? I scraplifted the idea from the Close to my Heart consultant bulletin boards then I created this one using the "Let's Get Together" paper line. Too cute, huh?

Scrap Tips

This posting is going to be about sharing tips for fellow scrapbookers and crafters. I will try to add a new tip each month. If you have any great ideas--please feel free to share!

July: How to store scraps

Scraps--we all have them. We all refuse to throw them away. We all have no idea how to organize them. Until now! Here's the best solution I've found: get one of those plastic storage boxes for 12x12 paper (see photo). I bought mine at Hobby Lobby at half price. Insert one 12x12 page protector for each color of scraps you need to organize. One for blues, one for reds, etc, etc. (I also put a full sheet of each color in the back of each protector so I would know which was which.) Then sort your scraps into the appropriate page protector (see other photo). Now you can easily find the right color of scrap paper for that next project. Cool, huh?
